30 Brilliant Photoshop Space Resources

posted by John Owen on September 20th, 2009, in Photoshop | 4 Comments

This post will give you a big list of photoshop space resources so you can create your amazing sci-fi compositions easily & effectivley. This will also help a great deal even if your new to photoshop and want to start immediately creating some cool art. In my experience, planet stock does not look very good when downloaded, you nearly always have to add the lighting, glows etc… Don’t not download stock because the preview image looked tacky.

Stars & Starfields

Stars are nearly always a must, good stars are vital. My reccomendation will have to be the Rabies Star Brushset. It gives you a wide variety of stars to use.
